Nigerian Judge caught on tape negotiating bribe to skew justice **A Nigerian judge in The Gambia shreds his career and his country’s image on account of graft** A senior Nigerian judge serving as the Acting Chief Justice of the Gambia, Joseph Wowo, has been sacked for soliciting a N2.5 million (500,000 Dalasi) bribe from a Gambian-based Dutch businessman in return for a favourable judgment in a land dispute case, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today.

You will lose at the court of Appeal because the way they deal with the case at the Court of Appeal, the lawyer messed it up. That is why I called your lawyer and said let us see how we can help you,” confirming that the lower court had made the right call in the case. Mr Jobarteh then cuts in and suggested a quick resolution of the matter. “The fact of the matter is that the error has been made and it’s irrecoverable. The issue now is how can we meet each other to correct the problem,” he said. Mr. Wowo then demanded a bribe of 2.5 million Dalasi (N12.3 million)...
